Overview
The Lectric XP Lite2 JW Black with Long-Range battery and belt-drive upgrade is a compact, foldable eBike designed for urban commuting, apartment living, and light-duty riding — all with minimal maintenance. The Gates carbon belt drive replaces the traditional chain, offering a clean, quiet and maintenance-free drivetrain paired with an extended-capacity 48 V battery for up to 80 miles of assist. It’s ideal for riders who value convenience, portability, and long-range performance without the hassle of chain upkeep.
Motor, Battery & Power
- 300 W nominal rear-hub motor, with peak output around 819 W — provides ample kick for flats, light hills, and assisted pedaling.
- Long-range 48 V lithium-ion battery (≈ 672 Wh / 14 Ah) — gives extended runtime for longer rides, errands, or commuting days without frequent charging.
- Estimated top assist range up to ~80 miles per charge under ideal conditions (depending on rider weight, terrain, assist level, and throttle use).
- Pedal-assist system + half-twist throttle — gives flexibility between assisted pedaling or throttle-only riding when needed.
Drive System & Maintenance
- Gates carbon belt drive — single-speed, maintenance-free, quiet operation without chain grease or stretch. Great for city commuters and low-maintenance riders.
- Single-speed setup — simplifies use (no shifting), though cadence and pedal assist are optimized for urban and flat-terrain use rather than steep hills.
Frame, Foldability & Dimensions
- Folding aluminum frame — folds compact for storage or transport, ideal for apartments, offices, or car trunks.
- Folded dimensions: approx. 36″ L × 16″ W × 27″ H — easy to store or carry indoors.
- Unfolded ride dimensions: approx. 64″ L × 25″ W × 41.5″ H — compact and maneuverable for city streets or bike paths.
- Light total weight: ~50 lb — among the lightest full eBikes with belt drive + long range, making lifting or carrying manageable.
- Stand-over height ~22″; adjustable seatpost and handlebar height accommodate a wide range of rider heights.
Wheels, Tires & Ride Quality

- Compact wheel size + foldable geometry make the bike nimble, easy to park, and practical for multi-modal commuting (bike + car/train).
